Following the bombshell release of new damning evidence, the powerful people in Jeffrey Epstein’s network, as those who knew him speak out for the first time.
It was the moment that caught the world by suprise, former Prince Andrew under arrest,the shock etched on his face,questioned under caution like a common criminal.
The ex- royal is the biggest casualty so far in in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal .
A scandal that reaches from beyond the grave.
This is where the house of cards starts falling…..
As the disgraced financia’s dirty secrets threatened to tear down.
Society’s most powerful.
The unraveling of Jeffrey Epstein.
How he conneded the world.
How he became a billionair and one of the worst sex tradffickers in history .
And how the morally corrupt were happy to play and do buisness …
…With a pedophile.
Peter Mandelson is been led from home by police.
From Britain, Norway and India to wall street.
From royalty .
To tech giant’s.
Business titans.
And politicians.
The fallout is global as the world’s elite takes cover.
The people who knew him from the beginning…
His brother,his former lover,and now those who now wish they never knew him.
HWO WAS JEFFREY?
Who covered for him?
what financial institutions allowedhis trafficking to continue?
Who knew what he was doing but was too much of a coward to do anything about it?
As an adult,Jenna Lisa Jones wants answers to what happened to her as a child.
She was only 14 years old when she was led into a bedroom in s Palm Beach mansion.
As a teenager,she knew what the world is learning now through the Epstein files,the man she met that day ,Jeffrey Epstein,was a serial sex abuser of young girls.
No one was coming to help her.
And no one was going to stop him.
More than a thousands women say they were abused as part of Epstein’s sex trafficking ring.
Many of the victims revealed in the files.
It seems to expose a very dark world, doesn’t it?
The Epstein files are over 3 million documents, videos , and photographs.
Detailing over two decades of crimes.
There are incriminating emails between the sex offender and the world’s elite.
Interviews with the predator himself.
As well as just how prized Epstein was as a key member of the billionaire club.
Cozy with politicians , royals, the world famous and the mega rich.
Death cannot protect Epstein or his mates.
With his files ,the most scrutinized instrument of accountability in the world.
Pulling back the curtain on the evil Epstein Empire is Thomas Massie, a republican congressman from Kentucky, who co- wrote the Epstein files transparency Act compelling the US Departement of Justice to produce the files.
This spans four presidents, part of a two decade long coverup, we seen that one of the richest people on the planet have the lowest moral standards on the planet”/ T. Massie.
So, far , there’s been an avalanche of scandalous revelations.
It’s extraordinary, after millions of documents were released in the Epstein investigation, it has triggered international and political fallout.
But by far the most consequential is this royal reckoning decades in the making.
It’s believed the first British royal arrested in nearly 400 years.
An arrest of this magnitude has no precedent in modern British history.
As the world watched …
Andrew Mountbatton Windsor was hauled in by police for 11 hours of questioning on suspicion of misconduct in public office.
Police are investigating a handful of emails uncovered in the Epstein files.
They appear to show Andrew, once an official trade envoy, sharing government secrets directly
With his sex offender friend.
But there’s more, from trading secrets to trading young women,apparently,Epstein had offered to arrange for Andrew to have dinner with a 26 year old clever,beautiful, trustworthy Russian woman.
And Andrew apparently responded that he would be delighted.
The creepy ex duke was also caught…
out unceremoniously on all fours in Epstein’s home.
These are the latest pictures of the man formerly known as Prince Andrew.
For his sins, the king’s brother has already been kicked out of his royal lodgings.
Stripped of his titles, and now at least nine police departments are probing his true ties to Epstein.
From former prince to president, Donald Trump’s name appears thousands of times in the Epstein files.
In uncorroborated and often bizarre tip offs providing endles foder for laughs.
Wouldn’t it just be easier to call this the Trump files featuring Jeffrey Epstein? “
The pedophile and president were certainly friends before a falling out in 2004.
Though Trump has long maintained he knew nothing of Epstein’s crimes.
But claim made in the files contradicts that.
In an unexpected twist, Trump has been credited with contacting police when Epstein was first arrested on sex charges in 2006.
Trump reportedly said ,” thank goodness you’re stopping him,everyone has known he’s been doing this”
He described Epstein as disgusting and financier’s girlfriend and co- conspirator..
Ghislaine Maxwell as evil .
Clearly indicating he was aware of their crimes years ago, despite saying otherwise.
One of the danges here is that this entire process gets so politicized that it loses any semblance of credibility,most people here .
Their interest in this is not about scoring political points. i‘ts about understanding the truth.
To find that truth ,there are calls for the Departement of Justice to do more to thoroughly investigate the connections and allegations made in the files.
It’s a high -stake search for clues to the real mystery.
Who this man actually was, what he was doing , and with whom.
Exactly why…
The world’s…
Most powerful people were drawn
Into his orbit.
To understand the monster that Jeffrey Epstein became.
You really need to go back to the beginning and understand where he came from and how he got there.
Snowy Seagate in Brooklyn, New York feels a million miles away from the fallout of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal gripping the world.
This is the house up here where Jeffrey Epstein was raised.
But this humble home in this workingclass enclave is where the disgraced financier lived
for two decades.
And to understand how he clawed his way to the top, you need to hear from the people who knew him first, like his old classmate, Philip Messing.
Epstein was just another kid that was trying to get through puberty and like hoping that he wasn’t victimized by acne. he was really , nobody, and Jeffrey was a very good math student.
but everything about him like had a certain… it may have been shyness, but it was almost a super sillious air about it.”
As a kid, Epstein , known as Bear, was also a gifted musician, but his mates knew, money was what drove him most and a deep desire to escape the neighborhood.
Jeffrey Epstein ,back at the time Messing went to school with him, told a classmate that he would definitely be rich someday .
But nobody could have ever envisioned that Epstein would turn into the villain that we now know of victimizing hordes and hordes of women, youn women.
Epstein’s rise to the top was fastracked by his drive andhis ability to lie.
By 21, he might have been a college dropout with no degree and zero credentials.
but he somehow secured a prize teaching job at Dalton, one of New York’s most prestigious high schools.
It took a level of hutzbah that David Enrich ,deputy investigations editor of the New york Times , can only admire.
It’s easy for me to imagine that he marched himself into the headmaster’s office at Dalton and just started talking as if he belonged there and the headmaster clearly bought it.And that is one of the constant lessons of the Epstein saga over the years is that the more information you get, the more questions it tends to raise.”
The audacious ascent of the kid from Brooklyn had begun.
At the time, scott Spizer was a studemt and lole Epstein,an outsider in this privileged place ,But even he felt there was something off with the maths and physics teacher.
What i remember is seeing him in a circle of female students , and always kind of being taken aback by that, but at that time ,it was just very dinstincthmm, okay, well that’s different, that ‘s not what i’m used to .That seems not entirely okay, but what do i know ? i’m a 16 , 17 year old knucklehead.
Knucklehead or not , scott witnessed Epstein get unusually close to son’s ,but mainly the daughters of the global establishment,he was the teacher who seemed to show up at social events, parties , gatherings,everything seemed very blurred in terms of the boundaries betweem students and him.
By the time that he left there two years later in 1976, the school was basically chasing him out , they felt that his performance as a teacher was not s trong enougth to merit his continued employment.
And luckily for Jeffrey Epstein, and unluckily enough for the rest of us , Epsten found another place to work soon after that .
That place was Bear Stearns, wall street ‘s infamous cowboy investment bank.
A powerhouse that didn’t care credentials, which was lucky given Epstein didn’t have any, though he claimed he did .
When his lies were exposed…
instead of being shown the door , he was given a second chance.
This would be the first episode in a whole series of them over the ensuing decades in which Epstein was caught red -handed .
And instead of being punished in a serious way, people opted to look the other way, and so he was able to keep rolling forward with impunity.
But even Bear Stearns grew tired of Epstein’s shady deals and abusive expenses, poised to punish him with a fine and a two – month suspension.
Instead, Epstein quit and set up on his own,but it didn’t matter.his old company was more than happy to continue doing business with him.
He left and started tapping right back into that network, and it led to him to be introduced to some very powerful businessmen in various parts of the world,
it allowed him to partner up with some Bear Stearn’s client…
…Whose money he ended up stealing.
His connections also saw him partner up with young women delivered directly to his apartment by his old bosses at Bear Stearns.
Including office assistant, 23 year old Patricia Schmidt,but Patricia was immediately hooked and she and Epstein started a year- long consensual relationship.
Patricia kept a diary of her time with Epstein.
It’s a glimps into their romance ,but 40 years on, Patricia recognizes Epstein also treated her as currency, and she would prove to be the blueprint he’d use against so many other women.
But how Epstein turned his financial trades into mega millions that has long fascinated investigative journalist David Enrich.
His been digging into how the workingclass kid accumulated so much wealth so quickly,Epstein fashioned himself as the financial whiz that basically was unparalleled.
One of the thing we saw though the deeper we dug was that the real way that Epstein was making money over and over again for year after year after year was lying and cheating and conning people.
It seems the financial whiz kid act worked on someone who should have known better a whale of the business world.
Les Wexner is the billionaire behind the Victoria Secret
But in late 80s. he met Epstein.
And as this document shows, in 1991, Wexner Gave him power of attorney, putting him in charge of billions of dollars and launching Epstein into the stratosphere of the global elite.
Wexner was the money behind the monster.
Wexner had granted Epstein virtually unfettered control over his entire multi-billion dollar fortune.
And this vaulted Epstein from being kind of a single- digit millionaire perhaps into someone who would in short order become one of the richest people in the US.
The latest trove of Epstein files threw up this gem when in 2019, Epstein seemed assured he was the financial genius he sold himself as.
This pseudo interview in 2019 with five brand Trump adviser Steve Bannon was meant to be a training session to help Epstein rehabilitate his reputation.
It’s recent release in the files is an intrig is an intriguing insight into a man just months away from having his privileged world ripped away.
The Epstein files are an X-raay of the extrodinary life.
Jeffrey Epstein enjoying.
At the peak of his power.
Long gone was the workingclass boy from Brooklyn.
This was a man with billions to spend
And no shortage of things to buy.
The photos that we’ve seen are revealing in a number of ways,first and foremost , it shows the just enormous amount of stuff that hundreds of millions of dollars can buy .
Whether it is mansions,private planes, private islands.
He might have had plenty of money, but Epstein needed something more….
And he found it in Ghislaine Maxwell .
The British socialite gave him entree
To the upper class world of prestige, glamour.
And on the surface at least , respectability.
She was someone who was basically an aristocrat.
She rolled in aristocratic circles and she brought Epstein along for that ride.
And it was around this time that Epstein starts showing at the White House for example and starts interacting with people…
… Like Prince Andrew.
It creates this aura around him.
That he is one of the best connected
And most powerful people in the world.
That helps him attract new people hwo will help him make more money.
It helps him lure more young women .
And girls into his web ,And it allows Epstein to become who he became.
And Maxwell played an instrumental role in that .
But as we’re reminded in this release of the files.
Behind the opulence.
This depraved couple was running an international sex trafficking ring.
And systematically raping girls as young as 14.
This is Okihilly middle school.
A broken kid from a broken home, Jenna Lisa Jones was just 14 when she was lured into Epstein’s vile world in 2004 by his network of young recruiters .
A decision forced by circumstances that completely altered Jenna Lisa’s life.
She’d been delivered into a rock spider’s web at the pedophile’s mansion
in Palm Beach Florida.
It was just 10 kilometers from her trailer park neighborhood.
But in every other sense, a world away.Jenna Lisa was mot alone in her suffering .
But she wasn’t aware police were finally closing in on the predator.
For the first time , the pedophile’s 2007 draft indictment is on the public record.
It’s shocking reading.
32 counts of sex crimes against minors.
Their sorted stories captured in these police interviews.
Police thought they had a watertight .
And if convicted, Epstein faced going to jail for the rest of his life.
Instead, in a shocking secret sweetheart deal with prosecutors, he pleaded guilty to two minor charges only, procuring a child for prostitution and soliciting a prostitute.
He served a mere 13 months in jail , but was barely ever in his cell .
They did this whole investigation on him and he didn’t even get trouble.
But in this intreview released in the recent file dump, Epstein is begrudging his short stin in jail.
I’d been there since June in an 8×10 cell with a bed in the back, a 6ft bed in the back a chrome sink with toilet attached to it and a little piece of metal sticking out that supposed to act as a table.”
Even though Jeffrey Epstein was shocked to be nrhnd bars,it’s hard to imagine that those who knew him would have been ….
…Nothing speaks to his perversions more than his 50th birthday book…
… compiled in 2003.
It’s a 238 page album littered with innuendo
and sexual references
Purportedly from Jeffrey’s high -flying friends.
the most garling and most shocking thing was that it was really clear that it was an open secret among these dozens of people who contributed to the birthday book .
That epstein had an unhealthy predelection for young women and sometimes girls.
That epstein had an unhealthy predelection for young women and sometimes girls.
It was a big inside joke and everyone was in on it other than the victims.
Many were happy to continue with the joke.
Even when in 2008 Jeffrey Epstein became a registered sex offender.
Nor did his shameful classification stop his trafficking.
But the files show he may have got more careful …
…Recruiting young women .
Instead of minors.
This was something that he was operating on an international scale.
He was bringing in women from all over Eastern Europe.
And getting them into the United states,offering to pay their tuition.
Put them up in housing, set them up with bank accounts.
And they were then beholdened to him .
And that’s exactly what Epstein wanted.
For the next 10 years , Epstein operated with near impunity until intense media scrutiny and fresh allegations of abuse forced the authorities in New York to act.
On the 6th of July 2019, Epstein flew into New Jersey aboard his private plane unaware, police were waiting.
A month later,the Brooklyn Grifter turned global predator was found dead in his jail cell.
When Epstein died in 2019, we were just starting to kind of scratching the surface of understanding what made him tick, who had enabled him, how he had gotten so much money, and whose secrets he was hiding.
A long way from the prestigious world Jeffrey Epstein was used to, he spent his last month alive in this Manthattan prison .
Amongst the millions of photographs.
Videos , and records released in the Epstein files…
Are these spbering images taken on August the 10th , 2019
Documenting the demise of the disgraced predator.
The 66 year old multi- millionaire had been awaiting trial at New York City’s Metropolitan correctional center.
The news was devastating for Epstein’s survivors, including Jenna Lisa Jones,
who was just 14 when she was abused by him.
The official ruling was suicide.
But almost immediately came the unsubstantiated and seemingly wild speculation about who Epstein was in life.
That the financier was really a spy.
He represent no government,he clearly works for MOSAD,
he clearly works for CIA.
That he dabbled in the occult and carried out satanic rituals
And that he was a keeper of dark secrets of the most powerful people in the world ,who in turn had him killed.
We don’t know why there was not more CCTV footage available,we don’t know why the prison guards all fell asleep.
There are a lot of unanswered questions here.
And it is enough to leave a reasonable person wondering
if we know the full story about this.
That full story, according to Mark Epstein, is that his brother was murdered,his more than willing to talk about why he rules out suicide, just not face to face.
Mark has spent years challenging the official account of his older brother’s death.
It was not suicide , that bullshit.”
He changed his will in the days leading up to his death.
The siblings led separate lives ,but were close even after Mark was made aware of his brother’s sex crimes against children.
My brother was wrong for what he did , he was with girls that were too young , other than that , he was a pretty intersting guy, he was a pretty good guy.”
But this disturbing email interchange between the brothers emerged from the trove of files released in January.
In 2012, Mark joked that a trip between his brother and Woody Allen to Paris was for a pedophile convention.
But joking about pedophilia, it’s a bit close to the bone …
isn’t it ? when your brother is a pedophile.
Of course , as we’ve seen from the ongoing fallout furore.
Mark Epstein’s name is not the only one to appear in the mountain of files.
Elon Musk asking Jeffrey epstein like ;
” when is the wildest party on your island going to be?
Each day …
…it seems ,there’s another name…
… And another headline.
The most high – profile from grace came with the shock arrest of the former Prince Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.
Under suspicion of sharing trade secrets with Epstein .
But there have been others , with mass resignatons and reckonings across business, academia, and foreign politics.
The Met said Lord Mandelson was being investigated on suspicion of misconducdt in public office…
…Former prime minister of Norway has been charged with gross corruption.
Sarah ferguson also now facing new questions,she’s now shutting down six of her companies.
Media mogul and chairman of the 2028 LA Olympics organizing committee, Casey Wasserman, now selling his talent agentcy amid major fallout over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell
The shocking revelations just keep coming.
One of the wealthiest people in the world, Bill Gates, allegedly leaned on Epstein for pharmaceuticals and Russian girls.
In the documents, Epstein wrote that Gates begged him to please delete their emails regarding a sexually transmitted disease and antibiotics.
The email is false , so i don’t know what his thinking was there.”
A wellness guru prescribing health advice between vulgar emails.Peter Attia was mentioned almost 2,000 times in the Epstein files.
Attia wrote one email to Epstein in february of 2016 that ” woman’s private parts were low carb.
you have an email from June 24th, 2015 , where Attia seemingly writes ” the biggest problem with becoming friends with you , the life you lead is so outrageous and yet i can’t tell a soul.”
Also buried in the files …
…are many ..
…more …
…deeply distrubing emails.
As you know,it is not a crime to party with Mr Epstein, it’s not a crime to email with Mr Epstein .”
But Repuvlican Congressman Thomas Massie , who has been instrumental in the release of the files, has no regrets abut the wordwide exposure of those who appear in them.
There’s some collateral damage to people’s reputations, and franky , i’m not sorry about it. if you went to the island where women were raped to have a vacation with a known sex offender and now you’re embarressed,i’m sorry.
Theres’ lots of embarrassing stuff.
but is there actually criminal stuff in these files ?
Oh absolutely , the question is,are the allegations true or no? and the way you determine that is you have an investigation and you have a trial and that’s how you get to the truh in this country.And all of those steps have been truncated because these are rich and powerful men .
What’s glawing for so many is that no one other than Epstein’s former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell, has been convicted for their role in the sex trafficking ring.
But as the Epstein files show , the FBI has known for years who the alleged co- conspirators are.
Counfoundingly, they’re protected, their names and faces redacted.
General Pam Bondi is under intense pressure to explain why there have been no investigations to prosecute or clear those who appear in the files.
Who are the co- conspirators on Thomas Massie’s hit list?
Who should the authorities be going after?
From what i can see right now,it looks like Les Wexner, the FBI owers us an explanation for how they decided to no longer pursue him.”
Billionair Les Wexner was the mogul behind Victoria’s secret .
And Epstein’s cash cow until the 88 years old had a falling out with the financial adviser, accusing him of embezzlement.
I didn’t know he was stealing till after we discovered that he was a crook.”
At a recent congressional hearing,Wexner denied any knowledge of Epstein’s crimes.
But he stands accused of being his greatest enabler.
The role that Wexner Played in Epstein’s development into someone who could construct a huge international sex trafficking operation, it’s really hard to overstate.
The billionair gave Epstein a big financial leg up.
But draft letters Epstein wrote to himself ubcovered in the files have raised new questions about what else, if anything.. Wexner knew.
One thing that makes no sense is that Wexner would have willingly paid Epstein simply for the services he was providing and that the payments would total hundreds of millions of dollars .
That is preposterous, it makes no sense.
Either Epstein was doing something aside from just providing kind of run- of – the – mill financial services.
Or he was stealing from Wexner or perhaps both.
For Jeffrey Epstein’s vicitms, so much hope is riding on the files.
Not just delivering accusations, but also justice.
The fear is their hope is doomed.
There was nothing in there that allowed us to prosecute anybody.”
The stance has been that it is unlikely that there will be further prosecutions leading from the Epststein file dump.
That we’re going to just let these people get away with it because of who they are and the power that they have.
It took one woman’s voice to trigger the global earthquake that is the Epstein files.
Virginia Giuffre, shared a story so sprawling and so dark that it was near impossible to fathom.
She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against theirs.
And it was this photo that changed everything.
The 17 year old Virginia captured in 2001 unconfortably close to former prince Andrew, it was taken, she said , just before she learned she was to have sex with him.
Traffick to the then royal by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
There are allegations the disgraced Andrew has long denied.
But now ,all these year later.
Virginia has been vindicated.
Buried in the Epsein files was this email from the now convicted Maxwell referring to the disputed photo.
Which appreas to contradict Andrew Mountbatten Windsor’s long-held suggestion that the now infamous photo was not real.”
It’s the proof if anyone needed it.
Virginia was telling the truth all along.
Proof, too.that in their denials about this photo, Maxwell and Andrew were lying.
The bittersweet revelation comes to late for Virginia, who took life on her property an hour North of Perth.
Fellow survivor Jenna Lisa Jones is devastated
her friend is not here to witness the global reckoning Virginia was long fighting for.
I know that would mean so much to her , she fought so hard and if they would have just believed her from the beginning…”
For many survivors, these files represent the only public accountability left.
But they’re also deeply flawed failing.
To identify Epstein’s co- conspirators.
While inexplicably naming
Many of the victims.
There’s been over 40 minors unredacted with their names,addresses identifying information, some as far as social security numebers.
That was a straight slap in the face to the survivors.
It was a list of names not to release, What did the DOJ do with this email? they released this email in a document production.
Literally the worst thing Bondi could do to the survivors.
These failings of the Epstein files amplified the tragedy that for two decades.
The institutions tasked with oversight, from law enforcement to both sides of politics, has spent more energy managing the fallout than delivering justice.
..And i’msure many of you when you read that, alleged FBI report probably thought to yourself,” wow this really cracks our narrative that we’ve been trying to push about ths president for many years ” so, uh , we’re moving on from that.”
But the American public is not ready to move one, survivors are not going to move on,and Thomas Massie not going to move on until they see some men per walked to prison.
This is a criminal operation that went on for years and it could not have happened if Epstein was just on his own.
The Jeffrey Epstein saga is not about one man .
It is about a society that that let him get away with treating young women as disposable people.
From workingclass Brooklyn to the upper reaches of global power
Jeffrey Epstein’s trajectory exposed a world that doesn’t just tolerate predators, it protects them.
The Epstein files are a mirror .if you’ve learned all of this about what we know now from the Epstein files and you’re still dispassionate or want to move on or don’t care.
It means you’re not willing to take up for the weakest people in our society.
If you won’t take up for a 14 year old girl who’s been sexually abused , if you wont take up for that person, when we’re showing you this happened, what are you made of ?
